Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Workers exposed to dust for extended periods may experience varying degrees of cognitive impairment. However, limited research exists on the associated risk factors. This study aims to identify key variables using machine learning algorithms (ML) and develop a model to predict the occurrence of mild cognitive impairment in miners.
